The Impossibly Difficult Name that Movie Game


A little car, a big park, and a man carrying colorful balloons ( boy, how I'd like one of those! ). You know you've seen this scene before...and do you see those two tiny figures in the backseat of the car? You know both of them, too. Now just write the title of the film below and you'll win a prize! Unfortunately, the prize isn't a jumbo-sized balloon. 

GAME OVER. 

Congratulations to the Tactful Typist for correctly identifying this screenshot as being from Gidget Goes to Rome ( 1963 )! In this particular scene, Paulo ( Cesare Danova ) and Gidget ( Cindy Carol ) are just about to step out from this little Fiat to greet Aunt Albertina ( Jessie Royce Landis ).

    1. Great guess, CW! But that's not the answer, try again!

  2. Are these balloons from The Last Time I Saw Paris?

    1. Lissa, that's another great guess! This image has the same color palette as the film Charade, but that, too, isn't the right answer.

  4. Hmm... Could it be from "How to Steal a Million"? It makes me think of Paris and Audrey Hepburn, too!

    1. No, not How to Steal a Million. That's such a great scene when Peter O'Toole and Audrey are in the park buying the boomerang.

  5. Well, the car looks like a Fiat 1100, and since there is a palm tree... Could it be "The Italian Job" starring Michael Caine?

    1. Wow, you are getting warm! That's a Fiat 1100 alright...but it isn't a scene from The Italian Job. ;-)
